UIW Men’s Golf | The GAP

2026 - 2027 Season

Issue 4

Cardinal Golf Fans❗️


This past week, we finished up our Fall Tournament Schedule at the Bubba Barnett Intercollegiate hosted by Arkansas State, with a 3rd place finish at -1, led by freshman, William Mangione and his -5 performance and a T4 finish.

Final Results + Highlights:

BUBBA BARNETT INTERCOLLEGIATE

  • Team: low season round of 277 (-11) in the final round, with 20 birdies, 1 eagle from 4 counting scores

  • William: T4, SLC Golfer of the Week, 2 sub-par rounds including 66 (-6) in the final round, 17 birdies (led the entire field) and 1 eagle for the week

  • Preston: 2nd round 70 (-2); his 3rd par or better round of the season

  • Rhys: bogie free 68 (-4) in the final round; his 5th par or better round of the season

  • Joel: 71 (-1) in final round; his 3rd par or better round of the season

There is clear, measurable growth in many areas, but the most exciting learning this week—and for the fall—is the potential for further improvement in places we still struggle. We call this THE GAP: the space between talent and future performance levels. These gains are earned daily over time. This is where we must continue to focus: consistent, long-term growth + development.

The guys are now taking a well-deserved, short midterm break to reset and recover. They will regroup next week to continue searching for more solutions, both on and off the course.

Thank you as always for your continued support.
